Script with multiple files

[thesynman]

Hi,
How do I use pybricksdev to run a script that is split across multiple files? Sorry if that should be obvious but I'm new to python and I don't fully understand how module imports work!
Thanks

The currently supported Powered Up hubs don't have file systems (due to limited flash memory) and therefore can't support this. You could try concatenating the files into a single file. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13613336/python-concatenate-text-files

FYI I have written an extension to pybricksdev that pre-processes the script file and inlines imports. I'll create a pull request soonish.

Thanks @thesynman. If you're interested, we also have an experimental implementation that makes some firmware changes to support multi-file projects in pybricks/pybricks-micropython#115. We'd love to get your feedback and ideas for this feature.
